Like many of the best winemakers, Andrea Cortonesi does not follow a formula or make wines for a particular style or camp. Heโ€™s been working in the vineyards of Montalcino for over 30 years and his focus is on capturing the elegance and beauty of this famous terroir. You could say that heโ€™s an innovative traditionalist, or that he is more polished than rustic. But mostly he just makes delicious wines from Sangiovese.

Andreaโ€™s first label (he also produces Voliero at the same estate), Uccelliera has a very passionate and devoted following among Italian wine lovers. They're powerful, explosive wines that always carry a sense of elegance and freshness. This is a top Brunello estate that consistently garners high praise and ratings, yet their wines remain very well-priced.

Six hectares of organically farmed Sangiovese, two of which are situated right next door to the famed Piccolomini 'Pianrosso' vineyard, are devoted to Brunello. Fermentation with spontaneous yeasts takes place in steel tanks over 20-25 days before being moved to large French and Slovenian botti to rest for at least 24 months before bottling. The Riserva sees an additional 12 to 18 months of barrel aging and 18 months in the bottle.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"Brooding yet intense, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino bursts from the glass with a wave of autumnal spices, crushed cherries, cedar shavings and steeped plums lifted by pine hints. This is deeply textural, elegant and refined, with a dense wave of ripe wild berry fruits, all guided by vibrant acidity, offset by oranges and balsam herbs. It finishes grippy and extended with a black hole of tension and a sweet and sour sensation that lingers on and on as crunchy tannins resonate throughout. The 2019 is youthfully backward today, yet there's a balance that can't be denied, especially as I watched it open up over twenty-four hours. This is a total pleasure to taste. Bury the 2019 deep in the cellar." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The Uccelliera 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers ripe fruit, a note of cooked blackberry and pomegranate juice. Along with oak spice and dried bay leaf, there is a spot of creaminess on the mid-palate that recalls cheese rind or aged chรจvre with a crust of black pepper and thyme. That note blows off, however, and the wine returns to dried cherry with a medicinal or herbal twist. There's a lot going on. The wine needs more time in bottle to address the fine, chalky tannins. It is elegant now but poised to improve. Production is 36,000 bottles plus larger formats." -Robert Parker

Wine Enthusiast

WE 95
"Aromas of scorched earth and truffle mingle with blue flower, leather and pipe tobacco on the bold 2019 Brunello from Uccelliera. Itโ€™s full-bodied and concentrated but also has great energy, delivering fleshy raspberry, black cherry extract, dried mint and licorice before a nutty close. Tightly wound, close-grained tannins provide firm support while bright acidity keeps it vibrant and balanced."
